From: Max Reitz <mre...@redhat.com> If @bs does not have any parents, the only reference to @mirror_top_bs will be held by the BlockJob object after the bdrv_unref() following block_job_create(). However, if block_job_create() fails, this reference will not exist and @mirror_top_bs will have been deleted when we goto fail.
The issue comes back at all later entries to the fail label: We delete the BlockJob object before rolling back our changes to the node graph. This means that we will delete @mirror_top_bs in the process. All in all, whenever @bs does not have any parents and we go down the fail path we will dereference @mirror_top_bs after it has been deleted. Fix this by invoking bdrv_unref() only when block_job_create() was successful and by bdrv_ref()'ing @mirror_top_bs in the fail path before deleting the BlockJob object. Finally, bdrv_unref() it at the end of the fail path after we actually no longer need it.
